A) To accept into the mind.

Explanation:

To imbibe means to accept something, to absorb or assimilate something from others. it also implies the intake of any alcoholic drink.

But, based on the sentence provided in the question, it will be more probable to say that the use of the word "imbibe" in the sentence means to accept into the mind.

The sentence talks of how slaves are like other people, and are accepting forms of prejudices and being prejudiced on others too. The sentence meant to imply that slaves are also taking in their minds, accepting the prejudices they were subjected to.
